# What is the network traffic like for the streamers?

I've played with Google Remote Desktop, and it has one massive problem - when installed, it constantly contacts Google's service.  So, when I tried it at work to use from home, the security team asked me what I was doing because I have over 700k connections in one day from my machine.   I've been tempted to try Splashtop on my work machine, but I'm very hesitant.

I was more concerned about the frequency of pinging the central servers.  Like i said.. with Google Remote Desktop, it worked, but it also pinged their servers over 700k times in a single work day.  TeamViewer went unnoticed.  

Thank you,

Minimal.  I am connected all day and it barely up-ticks my bandwidth.  They do some tricks with only transmitting the portions of the screen that have changed - very cool stuff.
